    I highly doubt you’ll find any company composed solely of people that support ideologies you agree with. I know that sounds flippant and dismissive but ultimately we should support the best options we have. Or I guess you can roll your own solution and trust that you have the skills to stay ahead of the opposition.

        Everything you see, use, touch, eat every day has been made possible by capitalism. If not for capitalism, we’d all still be farming and dying by 40.

          We’d be dying ethically, though! I’m kidding. Did you not know this place is an extreme-left echo chamber?

              I don’t know what those are - I just waded into Lemmy on a very large instance but I constantly see large numbers of people who proceed as if we’re all in agreement that capitalism is a proven evil and should definitely be put behind us in favor of a Marxist economy. This is what I consider extreme left. Now is it the uttermost tip of extreme? Surely not. But literal communism is not moderate left, or center left, it is far left. We could probably argue over the semantics of this for a long time.

            This is basically a list of things that are wrong with the U.S. or problems in the world.

            I don’t understand how this proves that capitalism is bad. If the world still hasn’t solved all its problems, then capitalism is inherently bad?

            By all metrics, the world is much much better now than it was 100 years ago. And it’s mostly thanks to market economy.

            All countries that have tried something different have had to resort to some flavour of capitalism in order to have any meaningful development.

            Also, nobody said our economic system in its current form it’s perfect.

      I guess there is a difference between the founder being a shit head and one of the rank and file being a shit head. Would be nice if just a few of the CEO class weren’t psychopaths.
